Summary Plan Description:

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) requires plan administrators to provide a Summary Plan Description (SPD) to participants, describing their rights, benefits, and responsibilities under the plan in understandable language.

IRS Determination of Tax-Qualified Plan Status:

The Internal Revenue Service periodically reviews tax-qualified retirement plans to determine whether they comply with Internal Revenue Code rules, which allow employers to provide tax-favored benefits to employees. In connection with the review process, Veolia North America is required to inform participants of their right to submit comments to the IRS and Department of Labor regarding the plan’s compliance with applicable Internal Revenue Code rules.
